Anime and Manga with The GIMPby ~tgfcoder

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / The Gimp

Thanks everyone for all the favourites! It's really heartwarming to know that so many people care about my tutorial. To everyone who really enjoy using this tutorial, or learnt anything from it, I hope you go on to be better than this XD

Read my Gimpsentials tutorial to learn about handy GIMP tips like how to save your image with the layers saved too! Click here to go there now.

UPDATE: For everyone that doesn't know, you can set the Mitre Limit to 100,
which means that your bezier curve joins will ALWAYS be pointy!
Just learnt this myself

Here is a screenshot to help you:

My first tutorial! If you like it or use it, please comment! It only
takes two seconds. Faves are appreciated too!

Line-art by

!

You could still be able to benefit from this if you're using Photoshop too!

^^^ for if you want to try out this tutorial on the original line-art!
I'm sure *sureya will be happy if you do ^_^

Also available is a ZIP file containing the three images in a
lower quality:

geocities.com/tgfcoder2/Animanga.zip

(1.8 MB)

I could not make that a link because Geocities would not allow it. Please copy and paste it.

FINAL NOTE: For those who might think (or think that I think) that this tutorial is the be-all and end-all, that is false. This tutorial only shows only a few ways to do things relating to colouring Manga/Anime style drawings*, all of which can be bettered. Think of it as a stepping stone for beginners; if you don't know where to start, how can we improve? Thanks for viewing my tutorial and I hope it gives you ideas for your own style.

* There are so many topics and sub-topics and so many different styles that
any one official "Anime and Manga" tutorial is clearly impossible. This deviation merely reflects on a starting point -- for Anime and Manga, with the GIMP.

All suggestions and criticism are welcomed. It is not too late to change it either.
For any notification of mistakes, improvements, or something otherwise only needing to be read by me, do not comment it, note me. If you have questions; note me.

Thankyou for reading.
